This thin book is a record of sorts of the idols in bronze recovered in 1907 – 1908 while excavating the buried site of the complex of Polonnaruwa in Sri Lanka. As the name suggests, the book is about the iconography of the Hindu god Siva. There are 11 plates that show the images being described, and are of Siva, and also of his consort. An interesting idol of Siva as a female is included among the images
